Infiltration - Wednesday, July 15th, 2020#

The Agents enter the communications room. Agent Jocko threatens Deb Richter to call off the alarm, but when her call to the ICE Security Response Team proves unconvincing due to her whimpering voice, he knocks her out.

Agent Locke destroys all camera footage recording their actions, then hacks into public traffic cameras to monitor the potential arrival of the SRT.

The group moves toward the private side of the facility, neutralizing a LYFForce employee in the armory before proceeding into the airlock.

Inside, they find a box containing a smartphone and several animal face masks.

Agent Cod puts on the pig mask, while Jocko takes the bat.

On the door at the end of the airlock, they find a printed sheet of paper displaying the Ten Commandments.

Chutes & Cubes#

Using Smedley’s magnetic card, the agents enter the chutes. Loudspeakers play classical music. Tiny chain-link cages are arranged around floor drains.

Industrial-sized pill bottles sit on a food cart, out of reach beyond the fencing. Each cage holds a single child, none older than four. Waste smears the concrete floors and the chain-link walls. The children crawl on open wounds covering their torn knees. When they wear clothes, they are little more than rags; most wrap themselves in foil blankets.

As Alan Rapp emerges from the cubes, Agent Jocko executes him with a lethal barrage from his SMG.

Locke checks the public traffic cameras on her phone and sees two ICE SRT vehicles speeding through the water plant gates.

Opening the door to the “Cubes” room reveals an expansive office space, divided into a grid of standing-height cubicles, their partitions just tall enough to obscure vision. Some cubicles contain nothing but a plugged-in phone.

The agents hear Tillman’s voice and attempt to outmaneuver and surround him. Combat ensues. Conradin manages to survive for several rounds until Jocko pins him down. Before Agent Cod kills him, he expresses relief, claiming he has brought forth new Teeth and served the only god worthy of the name.

Agent Locke exits the room and executes the four children one by one. She then spots ICE SRT entering the building and warns the others.

Agent Jocko pulls out the “WOW! Ballistics” grenades and throws one at the garage door in the chutes room.

The explosion detonates instantly, killing Locke and Taramis. Jocko and Cod, even while dismembered, are revived by their god, only to be gunned down moments later by the remaining ICE commandos.

The Teeths’ Last Thoughts and Feelings#

Agent Cod#

As she notices Jocko throwing the grenade, she tries to stop him, but the music is too loud and disorienting. When she is briefly brought back to life, the music is gone. She experiences a moment of relief.

Then ICE guns her down. With no hands to cover her ears, the sound is deafening and horrific.

Months later, her friend Aaron, after searching for her, writes a ballad in her memory. The only trace that she ever existed.

Agent Taramis.#

The Outlaws contact Taramis’s family and help them escape to Europe. His journal, filled with notes from his work with Delta Green, ends up in the hands of his best friend, Masterton.

His last thought is of his wife.

Agent Jocko#

Pepita opens a cardboard box filled with old clothes and finds a worn denim jacket. Inside one of the pockets, she discovers a letter written by Jocko years before.

Tears roll down her cheeks as she reads it. An unrequited love, long buried.

Agent Locke#

As her life fades, she sees a flashback of the children of Cornucopia House smiling as the Teeth kill them. She feels a sense of peace, believing the cycle has finally been broken.

The last image she sees is a photo of herself with Tony, the one he carried until his death.
